Catalogue of the annual exhibition [13th, 1878]
An 1878 exhibition catalogue issued by the San Francisco Art Association, printed in San Francisco for visitors to its annual show of California art. The one picture shows a seated classical woman with braided hair, holding a staff and a tablet, drawn in fine parallel-line engraving on cream paper. A designer could take from it the crosshatched shading and the allegorical figure of a muse or learned woman, useful for classical motifs and vintage line work.
